For θ 0, the Effective Rate reduces to the standard ergodic capacity. L(t) Data Source a(t) x r(t)
Introduction II The α-µ distribution provides better fit to experimental data than most existing fading models and involves as special cases: Rayleigh One-sided Gaussian Nakagami-m Weibull Exponential Gamma The power PDF of α-µ variables is given by [2] ( f γ1 (γ 1 ) = α α 1γ 1 µ 1 /2 1 1 2β α 1µ 1 /2 1 Γ(µ 1 ) exp where β 1 E{γ 1 } ( Γ(µ 1 ) Γ µ 1 + 2 α 1 ) with E{γ 1 } =ˆr 2 1 ( γ1 β 1 ( ) Γ µ 1 + 2 α ( 1 2 µ α1 1 Γ(µ1 ) ) α1 /2 ), (2) ), and ˆr 1 is defined as the α 1 -root mean value of the envelope random variable R, i.e., ˆr 1 = α 1 E {R α 1}.

System Model We consider a MISO system: y = hx+n (3) where h C 1 Nt denotes the channel fading vector, x is the transmit vector with covariance E{xx } = Q, and n represents the AWGN term. The effective rate of the MISO channel can be expressed as [3] ( { ( R(ρ,θ) = 1 A log 2 E 1+ ρ ) }) A hh bits/s/hz (4) N t where A = θtb ln2, with B denoting the bandwidth of the system, while ρ is the average transmit SNR.

Exact Effective Rate I Lemma 1 [4] The sum of i.i.d. squared α-µ RVs with parameters α 1, µ 1, and ˆr 1, i.e., γ = N t k=1 γ i, can be approximated by an α-µ RV with parameters α, µ and ˆr by solving the following nonlinear equations E 2 (γ) E(γ 2 ) E 2 (γ) = E 2( γ 2) E(γ 4 ) E 2 (γ 2 ) = Γ 2 (µ+1/α) Γ(µ)Γ(µ+2/α) Γ 2 (µ+1/α), Γ 2 (µ+2/α) Γ(µ)Γ(µ+4/α) Γ 2 (µ+2/α), ˆr = µ1/α Γ(µ)E(γ) Γ(µ+1/α), (5) As such, we can easily obtain the sum PDF as ( ( ) ) f γ (γ) αγαµ/2 1 γ α/2 2β αµ/2 Γ(µ) exp.

Exact Effective Rate II Proposition 1 For MISO α-µ fading channels, the effective rate is given by ( R(ρ,θ) = 1 A 1 A log α ) kl A 1 (N t β/ρ) αµ/2 2 (2π) l+k/2 3/2 Γ(A)Γ(α) ( [ 1 A log 2 G k+l,l (N t /ρ) l l,k+l ( β α/2 k ) (l,1 αµ/2) k (k,0), (l,a αµ/2) ]), (7) where G ( ) is the Meijer s G-function, (ǫ,τ) = τ ǫ, τ+1 ǫ,, τ+ǫ 1 ǫ, with τ being an arbitrary real value and ǫ a positive integer. Moreover, l/k = α/2, where l and k are both positive integers. For large values of l and k, it is not very efficient to compute (7). Zhang et al.

Exact Effective Rate III Proposition 2 The effective rate in (7) can be further written in the form of Fox s H-functions by using the Mellin Barnes integral as R (ρ,θ) = 1 ( ) α (1 log A 2 Γ(A)Γ(µ) ( [ (Nt ) α/2 ])) log 2 H 2,1 (1,α/2) 1,2. (8) ρβ (µ,1),(a,α/2) It is worth to mention that (8) is very compact which simplifies the mathematical algebraic manipulations encountered in the effective rate analysis. Zhang et al.

High-SNR Effective Rate Proposition 3 For MISO α-µ fading channels, the effective rate at high SNRs is given by ( ) βρ R (ρ,θ) log 2 1 ( ) Γ(µ 2A/α) N t A log 2. (9) Γ(µ) The above result indicates that the high-snr slope is S = 1, which is independent of β. The same observations were made in previous works for the Rayleigh, Rician, and Nakagami-m cases.

Low-SNR Effective Rate Proposition 4 For MISO α-µ fading channels, the effective rate at low SNRs is given by ( ) ( Eb Eb R,θ S 0 log N 2 / E ) b, (10) 0 N 0 N 0min where E b N 0min = S 0 = Γ(µ 1 )ln2 β 1 Γ(µ 1 +2/α 1 ), (11) 2N t Γ 2 (µ+2/α) (A+1)(Γ(µ+4/α)Γ(µ) Γ 2 (µ+2/α))+n t Γ 2 (µ+2/α). The minimum E b N 0 is independent of the delay constraint A, whereas the wideband slope S 0 is independent of β, and a decreasing function in A, while it is a monotonically increasing function in N t.

The effective rate is a monotonically decreasing function of A, which implies that tightening the delay constraints reduces the effective rate, The change of the delay constraint A does not affect the minimum E b /N 0, which is 1.59 db in our case, Zhang et al.

Conclusions Novel and analytical expressions of the exact effective rate of MISO systems over i.i.d. α-µ fading channels have been derived by using an α-µ approximation. From high-snr approximation, the effective rate can be improved by utilizing more transmit antennas as well as in a propagation environment with larger values of α and µ. Our analysis provides the minimum required transmit energy per information bit for reliably conveying any non-zero rate at low SNRs. Our analytical results serve as a performance benchmark for our future work on the performance analysis of the multi-user scenario. Zhang et al.
